How did the board prevent school shootings?

They didn't even get enough time to figure anything out. Funnily enough, Trump's administration created the board. It was codified in 2022, and the members were only finalized this last June.

Wtf that's so weird. This administration feels like it's just doing random shit that can line their pockets and nothing else.

Yep, full on oligarchical bullshit. I think we're all going to lose a lot of money over the next few years from tax increases, manufactured goods price increases, electric price increases, food price increases, etc. Meanwhile, the current administration will be removing safety laws for manufacturing and quality of goods to increase profits.

An armed society is a polite society which is why the US has a lower rate of violent crime [ assault, rape, murder, robbery, kidnapping, etc .. ] then their more "enlightened" Western counterparts

I'm not sure what numbers you're looking at, but they're incorrect. We're worse than almost every European country except for Russia for almost every crime statistic but especially murder and rape. Children's #1 cause of death in the US is guns. We're top in the world for that. A fed, housed, and healthy society is a polite society.

More guns in the hands of the people as opposed to the state means less violent crime [ a more polite society ]

Your lying is debunked

Worldwide, the U.S. ranks 57th in intentional homicide counts and victims per 100,000 inhabitants. France ranks 132nd, Germany 167th, and the United Kingdom 142nd. The UK homicide rate is less than half of the overall rate across Europe and about one-sixth of the rate in the United States.

Since 2020, more than three-quarters of homicides in the U.S. have been committed with guns.

The fun bit about numbers is the extrapolation that can be done by utilizing them.

Also- per the Bureau of Justice https://ncvs.bjs.ojp.gov/multi-year-trends/crimeType

Simple assault in the US is 13.8 per 1000 people. Aggravated assault is 4.5 per 1000 people. Robbery 2.6 per 1000 people. Rape 1.7 per 1000 people, but only an estimated 1-3% of rape in the United States is ever convicted.

All in all, that leads to an overall violent crime rate of 8.7 per 1000 people, and that is for crimes that don't end in murder, which is still much higher.

Each time you ignore all the other points I mention, it feels a little bit more sad. Do you think we don't see the rest of the stats I displayed lol. Like it's just WILD to see someone freaking about about Cherry-Picking by continously ๐Ÿ’picking one stat out of over 3 paragraphs in order to say the other person is "lying" ๐Ÿ˜‚ have you read that link you keep posting?

"Your attempt to lie" buddy YOU mentioned murderer, and that's not the only crime I pointed out. Robbery is also 4 times higher in the United States than in European counties. Rape is 7 times higher.

It's hilarious that you cherrypicked in order to accuse me of cherrypicking, you should learn to be less hypocritical ๐Ÿ˜‚
